Soltis described the suspect as a man in hisearly 30s with a full brown beard, "kind of longhair," and eyeglasses. The intruder was about sixfeet tall, 200 pounds, and was wearing a longgreen ski parka, Soltis said...
...Jaron Lanier, who grew up under a geodesic dome in New Mexico, once played clarinet in the New York City subway and still sports dreadlocks halfway down his back. The latest generation of supercomputers, utilizing massive parallel processing, was invented, developed and manufactured by Danny Hillis, a genial longhair who set out to build ``a machine that could be proud of us.'' Public-key encryption, which can ensure unbreakable privacy for anyone, is the brainchild of Whitfield Diffie, a lifelong peacenik and privacy advocate who declared in a recent interview, ``I have always believed the thesis that one's politics...

He was one of the all-time great rhythm-and-blues piano thumpers. His left hand rolled over the keys, keeping a wild rhythm that seemed to play out like an entire band. His right hand was like an antenna, pulling in melodies from the Delta blues, from Caribbean calypso, from rock and pop and jazz and anywhere else his ear chanced...
